Until ESPN+ recent price increase.... I was paying $5.99 a month and I could watch any SEC baseball game/some MLB games/whatever else. That's a fair price. Am I going to have that sort of option with this new set up? I certainly hope so. If not, the B1G are a bunch of phonies and this article is the biggest BS I've read. They can't yap about being the absolute best in broadcasting, if they are still second to the SEC and ESPN. The opportunity is there.

So I’m guessing FS1 and BTN will really have to expand their coverage. Edited August 18, 2022 by IUskim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw you said you have xfinity so I don’t know if it’s different for you but looking up the pricing it’s 4.99 for live sporting events on peacock but if you want ad-free it’s 9.99 but it doesn’t say anything about having unlimited access like ESPN+ I would guess we would have to look into the BTN app once this deal actually goes into effect and see if they go along the same ways as ESPN+ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I wish the press release was more detailed. Like to me, that press release just told us everything we already assumed, right? Not meaning I have an issue with you posting it, just so anxious to see what this all looks like. Fox, CBS, NBC, and B1G could really have something here. Just my opinion.

Most of it deserved but major hat tip to him. When he was in the room with Goodell negotiating TV deals he must have picked up something. As others have been saying all day this a NFL version TV deal at the college level. Own all the networks prime slots the entire day. I know we are probably worried about basketball more but I think things will shake out between the Big 3 and FS1/Peacock....but IU will be on the Big 3 as much as anyone. So each school will basically get $60-$65M per year now with escalators in there for down the road. Some happy Presidents around the conference today. Guarantee some academic type right now is angling for a new geology department hahaha.....serious, serious loot though.

With CBS and NBC actually having scripted shows and game shows and such I don’t see them carrying many weeknight basketball games. We might have one random non conference game on peacock. I think it stated 32 conference games and 15 non cons will be on peacock. I also read on ESPN that this deal will eventually get the schools 80-100M per year so good for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Does this take effect this season? So we will likely have november that we will be paying for trash B1G student. Then they will strategically spread out a few games on peacock so you will have to pay for multiple months. Interested to see this thing shake all the way out. Seems like ABC/ESPN sec / acc are going to have to make a counter move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierMama Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 We already have the Peacock premium. I got it so we could watch the 500 in May and we've kept it and probably watch it more than a lot of the other apps. They have a lot of good movies on there and my kids spent their summer break binge watching The Office for the first time. Worth it outside of just the sports in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
